I can't believe I'm writing this but my little girl is in end stage kidney disease. Her CRE levels shot up to 7 and we took her to the hospital but the IV treatment didnt help and her levels shot up to 11 a week later. At first, the vet said since she was still eating and had some spunk left, maybe dont give up hope. But after her CRE shot up to 11, she started to say maybe think about what to do next. I've lost a cat to kidney disease before and it was completely different. He was way sicker, having seizures and very withdrawn from us. In the past few days, my little girl has started to decline. She's not eating as much, and starting to not be as attached to me as she was, though she still comes to me and sits next to me, rather than on top of me like she usually does. For a moment, I thought there was hope cause she was eating and seemed brighter but yesterday was bad with no eating and being slightly more distant. She's also not walking very well. I know the end is near but I don't know when to pull the plug as they say (i cant even write it.) Part of me is waiting to see if the next day will be better.
I know i rambled but the gist is, if your cat still seems somewhat "with it" would you call it in anyway? Do I wait for her to decline even more or try to save her from that? Of course, I'm sick just thinking about it but I know I can't be selfish.
As for care, we're giving her sub q fluids, kidney support gold, cerenia, calorie supplement
